I do not have a clean install as a reference point as I've already installed XFree86 on my own computer, but my /bin directory is over 50 MB, so if his whole directory structure is only 32 MB I suspect he is missing more than just "less". I have helped others install it on their computers in the past (2-3 months ago) and have never had a problem, so I think something may have been broken recently in the install program. I noticed the package listing interface is different now that a few months back, so I assume that part has changed, perhaps with an additional feature of a new bug.
